Fighting Internal Fires with Fish Fats: Omega-3s for Asthma, 
Heart Disease, Arthritis, Eczema, Psoriasis, and More...

Adding Marine Fish Oil supplements to your daily regiment can help reduce inflammation and disease that comes from inflammation.

The recently published results of a landmark study suggest that Americans need to increase their intake of omega-3 fatty acids dramatically to enjoy the low rates of heart disease, stroke, depression, homicide, and bipolar disorder seen in fish-loving Japan (Hibbeln JR 2006).
 
The American Heart Association reports that studies show that fish oil supplements drastically reduce the risk of sudden death from heart attacks and or stroke. At the end of the three-and-a-half-year study, those receiving fish oil supplementation were 45 percent less likely to die from a heart related disease.
 
AHA Recommendation (American Heart Association)

Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week.  Fish is a good source of protein and doesn’t have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do.  Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

The American Heart Association also recommends eating tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola, walnut and flaxseed, and their oils. These contain alpha-linolenic acid (LNA),  which can become omega-3 fatty acid in the body. The extent of this modification is modest and controversial, however. More studies are needed to show a cause-and-effect relationship between alpha-linolenic acid and heart disease.

In 1996 the American Heart Association released its Science Advisory, “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Lipids and Coronary Heart Disease.” Since then important new findings have been reported about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular disease.  These include evidence from randomized, controlled clinical trials.  New information has emerged about how omega-3 fatty acids affect heart function (including antiarrhythmic effects), hemodynamics (cardiac mechanics) and arterial endothelial function.  These findings are outlined in their November 2002 Scientific Statement, “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease.”

Randomized clinical trials have shown that omega-3 fatty acid supplements can reduce cardiovascular events (death, non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal strokes).  They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis in coronary patients.  However, more studies are needed to confirm and further define the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acid supplements for preventing a first or subsequent cardiovascular event.  For example, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized clinical trials are needed to document the safety and efficacy of omega-3 fatty acid supplements in high-risk patients (those with type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension and smokers) and coronary patients on drug therapy.  Mechanistic studies on their apparent effects on sudden death also are needed.

Increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake through foods is preferable.  However, coronary artery disease patients may not be able to get enough omega-3 by diet alone.  These people may want to talk to their doctor about taking a supplement.  Supplements also could help people with high triglycerides, who need even larger doses.  The availability of high-quality omega-3 fatty acid supplements, free of contaminants, is an important prerequisite to their use.

Dr Murphree's Essential Therapeutics Marine Fish Oil is an excellent Fish Oil that can help reduce the inflammation that causes heart disease and other diseases caused by inflammation. Marine Fish Oil is also an excellent addition to the Skin Cap product line.
 
While Skin Cap will help rid your body of the psoriasis quickly, the fish oil will improve your immune function and add moisture to your skin. Skin is a living tissue and needs nourishment. Without sufficient fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and hormones the skin gets dry and lifeless. Good skin begins with good nutrition. Not only will a healthy diet keep your skin looking young but will help rid your skin of psoriasis and eczema. 
 
Frequently Asked Questions
 
Q. Are fish oil supplements safer than eating fish?
A. A study published in the January 2005 issue of the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine concluded that fish oil supplements may be safer than eating fish, at least from the standpoint of toxic impurities. The authors write, “Fish oil supplements are more healthful than the consumption of fish high in organochlorines (pesticides).” At Nutraceutics, our fish oil supplement provides the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids without the risk of toxicity.
 
Q. What is Omega-3?
A. Omega-3 is the name for a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). There are two main families of PUFA: omega-3s and omega-6s. The predominant sources of omega-3s are vegetable oils and fish. There are three types of omega-3 fatty acids:

1. alpha linolenic acid (LNA) is an important plant-based source of omega-3s, found in such foods as tofu, canola oil, walnuts and flaxseed.

2. eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are a very long-chain fatty acids obtained from cold-water ocean fish such as sardines, herring, mackerel, albacore tuna and salmon – hence, fish oil.

Omega-3s are required for normal human health.(1) They affect many physiological processes including cognitive function, visual acuity, immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions, anti-thrombotic and anti-arrhythmia activities along with having major effects on whole body glucose and lipid metabolism.(2)

Q. Should I be concerned about mercury and other environmental toxins in the fish supply?
A. Mercury occurs naturally in the environment but can also be released into the air through industrial pollution. Mercury falls from the air and can accumulate in streams and oceans where it is turned into methylmercury in the water. It is this type of mercury that can be harmful to you, your unborn baby and young children.

Nearly all fish and shellfish absorb traces of methylmercury from the water. However, the longer a fish lives, the higher its levels of methylmercury will be. These large fish (swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish) pose the greatest risk.

In order to ensure quality, Our fish oil concentrate is molecularly distilled to heavy metals, pesticides, PCB’s, and other contaminants. Our specifications are in full compliance with voluntary industry guidelines. The milligrams of EPA and DHA as labeled are based on the actual content per gram of oil in the capsule, not as a portion of the omega-3 content only which would result in a higher value. Thus, our calculation reflects the true “elemental” EPA/DHA content. Addition of mixed vitamin E tocopherols maintains oil freshness by retarding oxidation of lipid contents. Cholesterol-free.

Directions For Use: 1 to 4 softgels daily
